    Form Command Button Clickable Area problems?

    I also notice once the button is clicked on (in the area it does allow) and the control is in focus, the whole area is then clickable. But clicking on another control and moving focus away, the small clickable area returns.. Scratching my head with it :S

    Form Command Button Clickable Area problems?

    Hi, I have a button placed on a form, but it is only clickable a few pixels along the bottom of the button. If you hover anywhere above this, the button is not clickable and does not highlight as if it is clickable. I have deleted the offended button and recreated it, but the same strange...

    Multi-table form - relationships in front or back end?

    So I decided that I don't need the relationships in the front end because I can just specify the record source myself and add the joins in. But I see behavior I can't figure out. Image my table structure as - Table1.PartID Table1.Field2 Table2.PKID Table2.PartID Table2.Field2 Table3.PKID...

    Add multiple records to same table from subform

    Hi. I'm not an expert by any means, but thought I would offer my thoughts on your situation. So I would suggest you see it purely as an opinion to kickstart some thinking, not a definitive answer! In your Table2. Do you have 32 individual fields named BladeID1, BladeID2 etc etc? You have...

    Multi-table form - relationships in front or back end?

    I think this may have something to do with the backend having password protection. It would seem the relationships aren't normally visable in the front end if there is a password in place. I really would rather not remove this password as there are many applications connecting and querying the...

    Fields on a form driving me nuts.. Why can't I type into them?!

    Hey thanks for the reply. Its difficult because its a split front end / back end with a mdw file securing the front end and the mdw / backend is on the network. There are 0 relationships set on the tables. Its as un-normalised as you can possibly imagine and it would seem many illogical...

    Simple relationship table design, Why ID numbers?

    Just to clarify, the relationship I am looking at is a Many to One (Inner join) type relationship? Because there are many records in Table Interleaves but they will only ever relate to one record in Table InterleaveTypes? Thanks again.
